Knots

So maybe it's more of a loop
I felt this way then and instead of cutting things off there I tried making a knot to make it stronger
and the past year was just that
the loop that it takes to make the knot

here I am back where I started
crossing paths once again with a distasteful feeling

but the knot that was being tied has been made and there isn't a difference in strength because the string is still the same

maybe this isn't the first knot I've made to mask what is lacking, and to mask my heaviness of despair and discontent

So now, knowing that I can't do anymore
that no amount of ties will amend or strengthen the string

Hand me a pair of scissors

I want this to feel as blunt and the reactions I've gotten from them

And then I want what remains to fray away

For the sharp edge to taper so that I may move on
